PREFACE. 


THE  frequent  use  of  illustrations  by  the  Great  Teacher,  and  by  nearly  all  effec- 
tive speakers,  strongly  commends  the  illustrative  method  to  all  who  teach  or  speak 
in  public. 

Illustrations  render  special  service  in  popular  discourse.  They  condense  a 
chain  of  logic  in  a  striking  simile,  or  crystallize  a  moral  lesson  in  an  impressive 
incident. 

Biblical  illustrations  possess  marked  peculiarities.  They  not  only  interest  the 
mind  of  the  hearer,  but  their  sacred  associations  secure  his  respect.  The  Bible 
dignifies  the  address  in  which  it  is  reverently  quoted.  Besides  this,  it  may  be  ob- 
served that  while  the  repetition  of  other  illustrations  weary  the  hearer,  those  from 
the  Bible  are  fresh  forever.  Familiarity  often  increases  their  effectiveness,  as 
when  a  lawyer  illustrates  the  insufficiency  of  circumstantial  evidence  by  reference 
to  Joseph's  bloody  coat,  and  Jacob's  deep  distress  when  he  exclaimed,  "An  evil 
beast  hath  devoured  him."  Joseph's  garment  in  the  hands  of  Potiphar's  wicked, 
wife,  and  the  unjust  disgrace  and  imprisonment  which  followed,  would  not  only 
furnish  an  incident  deeply  impressive  to  the  ordinary  juryman,  but  familiarity 
would  lend  force  to  the  illustration. 

In  this  volume  are  collected  and  alphabetically  arranged  under  suitable  topics, 
ten  thousand  quotations  of  Biblical  facts,  incidents,  and  striking  statements. 
These  selections  cover  a  wide  field  of  thought,  and  relate  to  almost  every  variety  of 
character  and  to  the  varied  experiences  of  human  life.  They  may  be  applied  not 
only  to  the  truths  of  religion,  but  also  in  presenting  those  pertaining  to  science, 
philosophy,  art,  and  political  society. 

In  the  preparation  of  this  work  reference  has  been  had  to  the  wants  of  speakers 
and  writers  in  every  profession  ;  but  the  needs  of  religious  instructors  have  been 
especially  considered.  Here  the  minister  may  find  valuable  assistance  in  the  prep- 
aration of  his  discourses,  and  also  in  selecting  pulpit  lessons  and  Bible  readings. 

The  Sunday-school  teacher  may  use  these  illustrations  as  side-lights  to  illumi- 
nate the  lessons.  Bible  students  generally  are  here  supplied  with  a  vast  amount  of 
illustrative  material,  which  without  such  a  compilation  could  only  be  obtained  at 
the  cost  of  much  valuable  time  and  laborious  research. 


iv  PREFACE. 


The  plan  of  the  book  assumes  a  general  knowledge  of  Biblical  history  on  the 
part  of  the  reader  ;  hence  the  abbreviation  of  quotations  by  ellipses  of  unessential 
words,  and  thereby  a  condensation  of  the  volume.  To  lessen  the  time  employed 
in  seeking  illustrations  from  these  pages,  a  catch-word  printed  in  italics  follows 
the  title  of  each  article.  By  this  means  the  quotation  will  usually  be  suggested 
without  reading  it.  Sometimes  the  catch-word  supplies  an  explanatory  term. 

In  place  of  a  general  index,  a  system  of  cross-references  is  adopted,  which  will 
enable  the  reader  to  find  without  index-turning,  where  in  this  work  topics  of  like 
import  are  illustrated,  and  a  line  of  catch-words  gives  a  key  to  each  quotation  re- 
ferred to.  This  feature  greatly  increases  the  amount  of  illustrative  materials,  and 
at  the  same  time  facilitates  their  speedy  selection.  The  textual  index  will  show 
where  any  particular  verse  is  used  in  this  volume. 

If  this  compilation  shall  be  of  practical  service,  in  the  hands  of  those  for  whom 
it  has  been  prepared,  the  author  will  be  satisfied  with  his  humble  endeavor.

that  they  hated  knowledge,  and  did  not  choose

since  we  left  off  to  burn  incense  to  the  queen  of

Misinterpreted.    Galileans.  ' . .  some 


told  him  of  the  Galileans,  whose  blood  Pilate 
had  mingled  with  their  sacrifices.  s  Jesus . .  said 
.  .Suppose  ye  that  these  Galileans  were  sinners 
above  all  the  Galileans,  because  they  suffered 
such  things  ?  3 1  tell  you,  Nay  :  but,  except  ye

13§. National.  Jews.  16  They  mocked  the 

messengers  of  God,  i  •  i  despised  his  words,  and 
misused  his  prophets,  iiiitil  the  wrath  of  the  Lord 
arose  against  his  people,  till  there  was  no  remedy. 
11  Therefore  he  brought  upon  them  the  king  of 
the  Chaldees,  who  slew  their  young  men . .  and 
had  no  compassion  upon  young  man  or  maiden, 
old  man,  or  him  that  stooped  for  age  :  he  gave 
them  all  into  his  hand. — 2  CHKON.,  ch.  36.

that  thou  hast  spoken,  .in  the  name  of  the  Lord,

certainly  do  whatsoever  thing  goeth  forth  out  of 
our  own  mouth,  to  burn  incense  unto  the  queen 
of  heaven. — JEB.,  ch.  44.  [The  Jews  in  Egypt 
were  in  great  adversity.] 

14O.  — Ahaz.  Js  In  the  time  of  his  dis- 
tress did  he  trespass  yet  more  against  the  Lord . . 
83  For  he  sacrificed  unto  the  gods  of  Damascus, 
which  smote  him  :  and  he  said,  Because  the 
gods  of  the  kings  of  Syria  help  them,  therefore 
will  I  sacrifice  to  them,  that  they  may  help  me. 
But  they  were  the  ruin  of  him,  and  of  all 
Israel.— 2  CHBON.,  ch.  28.

2222.  DESPISERS  of  Others.    Pharisee.    9  He 
spake  this  parable  unto  certain  which  trusted  in 
themselves  that   they  were  righteous,   and  de- 
spised others  :    10  Two  men  went  up  into  the 
temple  to  pray  ;  the  one  a  Pharisee,  and  the 
other  a  publican. — LUKE,  ch.  18.

thought  worthy,  who  hath  trodden  under  foot 
the  Son  of  God,  and  hath  counted  the  blood  of 
the  covenant,  wherewith  he  was  sanctified,  an 
unholy  thing,  and  hath  done  despite  unto  the 
Spirit  of  grace? — HEB.,  ch.  10.

I  have  called,  and  ye  refused  ;  I  have  stretched 
out  my  hand,  and  no  man  regarded  ;  25  But  ye 
have  set  at  nought  all  my  counsel,  and  would 
none  of  my  reproof  :  26 1  also  will  laugh  at  your 
calamity  ;  I  will  mock  when  your  fear  cometh  ; 
21  When  your  fear   cometh  as  desolation,  and 
your  destruction  cometh  as  a  whirlwind  ;  when 
distress  and  anguish  cometh  upon  you. — PEOV.,

35 . .  he  refused  to  be  comforted  ;  and  he  said, 
For  I  will  go  down  into  the  grave  unto  my  son 
mourning — GEN.,  ch.  37. 

2227.  Complaint  in.   Moses.    22  Moses. . 

said,  Lord,  wherefore  hast  thou  so  evil  entreated 
this  people  ?  why  is  it  that  thou  hast  sent  me  ? 
23  For  since  I  came  to  Pharaoh  to  speak  in  thy 
name,  he  hath  done  evil  to  this  people  ;  neither 
hast  thou   delivered  thy  people   at  all.— Ex., 
ch.  5. 

222S.  continued.   Affliction.    *  My  heart 

is  smitten,  and  withered  like  grass  ;  so  that  I 
forget  to  eat  my  bread .  .  6  By  reason  of  the  voice 
of  my  groaning  my  bones  cleave  to  my  skin. 
6  I  am  like  a  pelican  of  the  wilderness  :  I  am 
like  an  owl  of  the  desert.  '  I  watch,  and  am  as 
a  sparrow  alone  upon  the  housetop.  8  Mine  en- 
emies reproach  me  all  the  day  ;  and  they  that 
are  mad  against  me  are  sworn  against  me.  9  For 
I  have  eaten  ashes  like  bread,  and  mingled  my 
drink  with  weeping.—  Ps.  102.

burned  with  fire  ;  and  their  wives,  and  their 
sons,  and  their  daughters,  were  taken  captives. 
6  And   David  was   greatly   distressed  ;   for  the 
people  spake  of  stoning  him,  because  the  soul 
of  all  the  people  was  grieved,  every  man  for  his 
sons  and  for  his  daughters  :  but  David  encour-

countenance,  and  my  God. — Ps.  42. 

2233.  Hasty.     Jonah.     6  The  Lord  God 

prepared  a  gourd . .  that  it  might  be  a  shadow 
over  his  head,  to  deliver  him  from  his  grief.    So 
Jonah  was  exceeding  glad  of  the  gourd.     7  But 
.  .a  worm,  .the  next  day.  .smote  the  gourd  that 
it  withered.  8.  .and  the  sun  beat  upon  the  head 
of  Jonah,  that  he  fainted,  and  wished  in  him- 
self to  die,  and  said,  It  is  better  for  me  to  die 
than  to  live. — JONAH,  ch.  4.

gathering  two  sticks,  that  I  may  go  in  and  dress 
it  for  me  and  my  son,  that  we  may  eat  it,  and 
die. — 1  KINGS,  ch.  17.  [Neither  meal  nor  oil

thither  unto  a  cave,  and  lodged  there  ;  and  be- 
hold, the  word  of  the  Lord.  .What  doest  thou 
here,  Elijah  ?  10  And  he  said,  I  have  been  very 
jealous  for  the  Lord  God  of  hosts  :  for  the  chil- 


dren of  Israel  have  forsaken  thy  covenant, 
thrown  down  thine  altars,  and  slain  thy  proph- 
ets .  .  and  I,  even  I  only,  am  left  ;  and  they  seek 
my  life,  to  take  it  away. — 1  KINGS,  ch.  19. 

2236.  Memories  bring.    Captives.     '  By 

the  rivers  of  Babylon,  there  we  sat  down,  yea, 
we   wept,   when   we  remembered  Zion.     2  We 
hanged  our  harps  upon  the  willows  in  the  midst 
thereof.     3  For  there  they  that  carried  us  away 
captive  required  of  us  a  song. — Ps.  137. 

2237.  from  Overcare.     Moses.     I4 1  am 

not  able  to  bear  all  this  people  alone,  because

with  me,  kill  me.  .out  of  hand,  if  I  have  found 
favour  in  thy  sight  ;   and  let  me  not  see  my 
wretchedness. — NUM.,  ch.  11. 

2238.  Public,     flesh-hungry.      10  Moses 

heard  the  people  weep  throughout  their  families, 
every  man  in  the  door  of  his  tent  :   and  the 
anger  of  the  Lord  was  kindled  greatly  ;  Moses 
also  was  displeased. — NUM.,  ch.  II. 

2239. Prayer  in.  David.  '  How  long  wilt 

thou  forget  me,  O  Lord  ?  for  ever  ?  how  long 
wilt  thou  hide  thy  face  from  me  ?  2  How  long 
shall  I  take  counsel  in  my  soul,  having  sorrow 
in  my  heart  daily  ?  how  long  shall  mine  enemy 
be  exalted  over  me  ?  3  Consider  and  hear  me,  O 
Lord  my  God  ;  lighten  mine  eyes,  lest  I  sleep 
the  sleep  of  death. — Ps.  13.

sengers returned  to  Jacob,  saying,  We  came  to 
thy  brother  Esau,  and  also  he  cometh  to  meet 
thee,  and  four  hundred  men  with  him.  1  Then 
Jacob  was  greatly  afraid  and  distressed. — GEN., 
ch.  32.     [He  prayed  all  night.] 

2241.  in  Sickness.  Ilezekiah.  10  I  said  in 

the  cutting  off  of  my  days,  I  shall  go  to  the 
gates  of  the  grave  :  I  am  deprived  of  the  residue 
of  my  years.   ' '  I  said,  I  shall  not  see . .  the  Lord, 
in  the  land  of  the  living  :  I  shall  behold  man  no 
more  with  the  inhabitants  of  the  world.   12  Mine 
age  is  departed,  and  is  removed  from  me  as  a 
shepherd's  tent  :  I  have  cut  off  like  a  weaver  my 
life  :  he  will  cut  me  off  with  pining  sickness. — 
ISA.,  ch.  38.

a  derision,  daily.  9  Then  I  said,  I  will  not  make 
mention  of  him,  nor  speak  any  more  in  his 
name.  But  his  word  was  in  mine  heart  as  a 
burning  fire  shut  up  in  my  bones,  and  I  was 
weary  with  forbearing,  and  I  could  not  stay. — 
JEE.,  ch.  20.

S1  Another  of  his  disciples  said .  .Lord,  suffer  me 
first  to  go  and  bury  my  father.  2*  But  Jesus  said 
.  .Follow  me  ;  and  let  the  dead  bury  their  dead.

my  house. — LUKE,  ch.  9.

ters, yea,  and  his  own  life  also,  he  cannot  be  my 
disciple.     27  And  whosoever  doth  not  bear  his 
cross,  and  come  after  me,  cannot  be  my  disciple. 
— LUKE,  ch.  14. 

2335.  Trials  of.  Slander.  26  It  is  enough 

for  the  disciple  that  he  be  as  his  master,  and  the 
servant  as  his  lord.  If  they  have  called  the  mas- 
ter of  the  house  Beelzebub,  how  much  more  shall 
they  call  them  of  his  household. — MAT.,  ch.  10.

.  .all,  If  any  man  will  come  after  me,  let  him 
deny  himself,  and  take  up  his  cross  daily,  and 
follow  me.  ~24  For  whosoever  will  save  his  life 
shall  lose  it :  but  whosoever  will  lose  his  life  for 
my  sake,  the  same  shall  save  it. — LUKE,  ch.  9.

up  the  tares,  ye  root  up  also  the  wheat  with 
them.  30  Let  both  grow  together  until  the  har 
vest :  and .  .  I  will  say  to  the  reapers,  Gather  ye  to-

20Achan  answered  Joshua.  .Indeed  I  have  sin-

Babylonish  garment,  and  two  hundred  shekels 
of   silver,  and  a  wedge  of   gold  of  fifty  shekels 
weight,  then  I  coveted  them,  and  took  them. —

Jews  dissembled  likewise  with  him  ;  insomuch 
that  Barnabas  also  was  carried  away  with  their 
dissimulation.      u  But  when   I   saw   that   they 
walked  not  uprightly  according  to  the  truth  of 
the  gospel,  I  said  unto  Peter  before  them  all,  If 
thou,  being  a  Jew,  livest  after  the  manner  of 
Gentiles,  and  not  as  do  the  Jews,  why  compell- 
est  thou  the  Gentiles  to  live  as  do  the  Jews? —

was  come  to  Antioch,  I  withstood  him  to  the 
face,  because  he  was  to  be  blamed.   12  For  before 
that  certain  came  from  James,  he  did  eat  with 
the  Gentiles  :  but  when  they  were  come,  he  with- 
drew and  separated  himself,  fearing  them  which 
were  of  the  circumcision.  —GAL.,  ch.  2.

2429.  DISSENSION,  Doctrinal.      At  Antioch. 
1  Certain   men  which  came  down   from   Jndea 
taught.  .Except   ye   he   circumcised    after    the 
manner  of  Moses,  ye  cannot  be  saved.     "2  When 
therefore  Paul  and  Barnabas  had  no  small  dis- 
sension and  disputation  with  them,  they  deter- 
mined that   Paul   and  Barnabas,    and   certain 
other  of  them,  should  go  up  to  Jerusalem  unto 
the  apostles  and  elders  about  this  question. — 
ACTS,  ch.  15. 

2430.  -   -  A  perilous.  With  Sadducees.  9  The 
scribes  that  icere  of   the   Pharisees'   part  arose, 
and  strove,  saying,  We  find  no  evil  in  this  man  : 
but  if  a  spirit  or  an  angel  hath  spoken  to  him, 
let  us  not  fight  against  God.    10  And  when  there 
arose  a  great  dissension,  the  chief  captain,  fear- 
ing lest  Paul  should  have  been  pulled  in  pieces 
of  them,  commanded  the  soldiers .  .  to  bring  him 
into  the  castle. — ACTS,  ch.  23.

divided  ?  was  Paul  crucified  for  you  ?  or  were 
ye  baptized  in  the  name  of  Paul? — 1  COK.,  ch.  1. 

2432. A  stubborn.  Mark.  39  The  con- 
tention was  so  sharp  between  them,  that  they 
departed  asunder  one  from  the  other :  and  so 
Barnabas  took  Mark,  and  sailed  imto  Cyprus  ; 
40  And  Paul  chose  Silas,  and  departed,  being 
recommended  by  the  brethren  unto  the  grace  of 
God. — ACTS,  ch.  15.

of  Brethren.   Christians.  37  Barna- 


bas determined  to  take  with  them  John,  whose 
surname  was  Mark.  38  But  Paul  thought  not 
good  to  take  him  with  them,  who  departed  from 
them  from  Pamphylia . .  39  And  the  contention 
was  so  sharp  between  them,  that  they  departed 
asunder  one  from  the  other. — ACTS,  ch.  15. 

2459.  A  cruel.     Solomon.     23  Then  said 

the  king,  The  one  saith,  This  is  my  son  that  liv- 
eth,  and  thy   son  is  the   dead  :  and  the  other 
saith,  Nay  ;  but  thy  son  is  the  dead,  and  my  son 
is  the  living.     25  And  the  king  said,  Divide  the 
living  child  in  two,  and  give  half  to  the  one,  and 
half  to  the  other. — 1  KINGS,  ch.  3. 

2460.  Doctrines  make.   Disciples.    56  He 

that  eateth  my  flesh,  and   drinketh  my  blood, 
dwelleth  in  me,  and  I  in  him.    s6  From  that  lime 
many  of  his  disciples  went  back,  and  walked  no 
more  with  him. — JOHN,  ch.  6. 

2461.  A  divine.   Jordan.  u  He  took  the 

mantle  of  Elijah  that  fell  from  him,  and  smote

not  with  us,  we  will  not  give  them  aught  of  the 
spoil  that  we  have  recovered.  24.  .David said,  As 
his  part  is  that  goeth  down  to  the  battle,  so  shall 
his  part  be  that  tarrieth  by  the  stuff  :  they  shall 
part  alike. — 1  SAM.,  ch.  30. 

2463.  The  Lord's.  Egypt.  22 1  will  sever 

in  that  day  the  land  of  Goshen,  in   which   my 
people  dwell,  that  no  swarms  of  flies  shall  be 
there  :  to  the  end  thou  mayest  know  that  I  am 
the  Lord  in  the  midst  of  the  earth. — Ex.,  ch.  8. 

2464.  from  Misconceptions.      Of  Christ. 

40  Of  a  truth  this  is  the  Prophet.    41  Others  said, 
This  is  the  Christ.     But  some  said,  Shall  Christ 
come  out  of  Galilee  ?    42  Hath  not  the  Scripture 
said,  That  Christ  cometh  of  the  seed  of  David, 
and  out  of  the  town  of  Bethlehem,  where  Da- 
vid was  ?    43  So  there  was  a  division  among  the 
people  because  of  him. — JOHN,  ch.  7. 

2465.  of  Opinions.   Jesus.    I2  There  was 

much  murmuring  among  the  people  concerning 
him  :  for  some  said,  He  is  a  good  man  :  others 
said,  Nay  ;  but  he  deceiveth  the  people. — JOHN, 
ch.  7. 

2466.  by  Truth.     Christ.     M  Think  not 

that  I  am  come  to  send  peace  on  earth  :  I  came  not 
to  send  peace,  but  a  sword.  35  For  I  am  come  to 
set  a  man  at  variance  against  his  father,  and  the 
daughter  against  her  mother,  and  the  daughter 
in  law  against  her  mother  in  law. — MAT.,  ch.  10. 

2467.  DIVISIONS,  Authors  of.  Hateful.  >•  These 
six  things  doth  the  Lord  hate  ;  yea,  seven  are 
an  abomination  unto  him  :  n  A  proud  look,  a 
lying   tongue,  and   hands  that   shed   innocent 
blood,  18  A  heart  that  deviseth  wicked  imagina- 
tions, feet  that  be  swift  in  running  to  mischief, 
19  A  false  witness  that  speaketh  lies,  and  he  that 
soweth  discord  among  brethren. — PBOV.,  ch.  6. 

246§.  Harmful.    In  Egypt.     13  Two  men 

of  the  Hebrews  strove  together  :  and  he  said  to 
him  that  did  the  wrong,  Wherefore  smitest  thou 
thy  fellow  ?  14  And  he  said,  Who  made  thee  a 
prince  and  a  judge  over  us  ?  intendest  thou  to 
kill  me,  as  thou  killedst  the  Egyptian?  And 


Moses  feared,  and  said,  Surely  this  thing  is 
known. — Ex.,  ch.  2.  [Enemies  were  multiplied, 
Israel  was  weakened,  Moses  was  banished.] 

2469.  Harmonious.    Body.    14  The  body 

is  not  one  member,  but  many.  I5  If  the  foot  shall 
say,  Because  I  am  not  the  hand,  I  am  not  of  the 
body  ;  is  it  therefore  not  of  the  body?     16  And 
if  the  ear  shall  say,  Because  I  am  not  the  eye,  I 
am  not  of  the  body  ;  is  it  therefore  not  of  the 
body?     n  If  the  whole  body  were  an  eye,  where 
were  the  hearing  ?    If  the  whole  were  hearing, 
where  were  the  smelling? — 1  Cor..,  ch.  12. 

2470.  healed.   At  Antioch.    "8  It  seemed 

good  to  the  Holy  Ghost,  and  to  us,  to  lay  upon 
you  no   greater  burden  than    these  necessary 
things  ;  '29  That  ye  abstain  from  meats  offered  to 
idols,  and   from  blood,  and  from  things  stran- 
gled, and  from  fornication  :  from  which  if  ye 
keep  yourselves,  ye  shall  do  well.     Fare  ye  well. 
— ACTS,  ch.  15. 

2471.  Party.      At  Corinth.     s  Ye  are  yet 

carnal  :  for  whereas  there  is  among  you  envying, 
and  strife,  and  divisions,  are  ye  not  carnal,  and 
walk  as  men  ?    4  For  while  one  saith,  I  am  of 
Paul  ;  and  another,  I  am  of  Apollos  ;  are  ye  not 
carnal?—!  COK.,  ch.  3. 

2472.  Scandalous.    Corinth.     17  Ye  come 

together  not  for  the  better,  but  for  the  worse. 
18 .  .  I  hear  that  there  be  divisions  among  you; 
and  I  partly  believe  it.     21  For  in  eating  every 
one  taketh  before  other  his  own  supper  :  and  one 
is  hungry,  and  another  is  drunken. — 1  COK.,  ch.

Pharisees,  .said,  This  fellow  doth  not  cast  out 
devils,  but  by  Beelzebub  the  prince  of  the  dev- 
ils. 25And  Jesus  knew  their  thoughts,  and  said.  . 
Every  kingdom  divided  against  itself  is  brought 
to  desolation. — MAT.,  ch.  12.

2474.  DIVINITY  of  Christ.  Asserted.  18  There- 
fore the  Jews  sought  the  more  to  kill  him,  be- 
cause he  not  only  had  broken  the  sabbath,  but 
said  also,  that  Go  J  was  his  Father,  making  him- 
self equal  with  God. — JOHN,  ch.  5.  [He  had 
healed  an  invalid  on  the  sabbath.] 

2475. Acknowledged.  5  Jesus  saith 

. .  I  am  he.  And  Judas  also,  which  betrayed  him, 
stood  with  them.  6  As  soon  then  as  he  had  said 
nnto  them,  I  am  he,  they  wen  backward,  and 
fell  to  the  ground.  —JOHN,  ch.  1  '. 

2476. Confessed.  1S  Whom  do  men 

say  that  I,  the  Son  of  man,  am  ?  14  And  they  said, 
Some  say  that  thou  art  John  the  Baptist ;  some, 
Elias  ;  and  others,  Jeremias,  or  one  of  the 
prophets.  15  He  saith.  .But  whom  say  ye  that  I 
am  ?  "> And  Simon  Peter  answered . .  Thou  art  the 
Christ,  the  Son  of  the  living  God. — MAT.,  ch.  16. 

2477. Hatred  of  the  Doctrine.  6  Pi- 
late saith.  .Take  ye  him,  and  crucify  him:  for  I 
find  no  fault  in  him.  '  The  Jews  answered  him, 
We  have  a  law,  and  by  our  law  he  ought  to  die, 
because  he  made  himself  the  Son  of  God.  — 
JOHN,  ch.  19. 

2478. Manifested.  "  Master,  Mas- 
ter, we  perish.  Then  he  arose,  and  rebuked  the 
wind  and  the  raging  of  the  water  :  and  they 
ceased,  and  there  was  a  calm.  s& . .  What  manner 
of  man  is  this !  for  he  commandeth  even  the 
winds  and  water,  and  they  obey  him. — LUKE, 
ch.  8. 

2479. Professed.  80 1  and  my 

Father  are  one.  31  Then  the  Jews  took  up  stones 
again  to  stone  him.  32  Jesus  answered  them,  .for 
which  of  those  works  do  ye  stone  me  ?  ^  The 
Jews  answered  him,  saying,  For  a  good  work  we 
stone  thee  not  ;  but  for  blasphemy  ;  and  be- 
cause that  thou,  being  a  man,  makest  thyself 
God.— JOHN,  ch.  10.

the  son  of  Heli . .     3S  Which  was  the  son  of  Enos,

divorcement . .  8 . .  Moses  because  of  the  hard- 
ness of  your  hearts  suffered  you  to  put  away 
your  wives  :  but  from  the  beginning  it  was  not 
so.  9  And  I  say  unto  you,  Whosoever  shall  put 
away  his  wife,  except  it  be  for  fornication,  and 
shall  marry  another,  committeth  adultery  :  and 
whoso  marrieth  her  which  is  put  away  doth 
commit  adultery. — MAT.,  ch.  19.

Pharisees  saw  it.  .Behold,  thy  disciples  do  that

above  his  lord.  25  It  is  enough  for  the  disciple 
that  he  be  as  his  master,  and  the  servant  as  his

No  doubt  this  man  is  a  murderer,  whom,  though

Primitive.     Persecuted.      '  There

faithful  in  that  which  is  least  is  faithful  also  in

will  commit  to  your  trust  the  true  riches  ?—

hard  thing  :  nevertheless,  if  thou  see  me  ichen  I 
am  taken  from  thee,  it  shall  be  so  unto  thee  ;  but 
if  not,  it  shall  not  be  so. — 2  KINGS,  ch.  2.

beit  no  man  spake  openly  of  him  for  fear  of  the 
Jews. — JOHN,  ch.  7. 

3433.  Compromising.    Rulers.  42  Among

4236.  Two.     Saul's  Daughter.    14  David 

sent  messengers  to  Ish-bosheth  Saul's  son,  saying, 
Deliver  me  my  wife  Michal,  which  I  espoused  to 
me  for  a  hundred  foreskins  of  the  Philistines. 
15  And  Ish-bosheth  sent,  and  took  her  from  he)

4237.  HYPOCRITE,  An  expert.    Jacob.    19  Ja-

arise,  I  pray  thee,  sit  and  eat  of  my  venison, 
that  thy  soul  may  bless  me. — GEN.,  ch.  27. 

423§.  Hope  of.  "  Spider's  Web."  n  Can 

the  rush  grow  up  without  mire  ?  can  the  flag 
grow  without  water  ?  l*  Whilst  it  is  yet  in  his 
greenness,  and  not  cut  down,  it  withereth  be- 
fore any  other  herb.  1S  So  are  the  paths  of  all 
that  forget  God  ;  and  the  hypocrite's  hope  shall 
perish :  14  Whose  hope  shall  be  cut  off,  and 
whose  trust  shall  be  a  spider's  web. — JOB,  ch.  8.

hypocrites  !  for  ye  pay  tithe  of  mint  and  anise 
and  cummin,  and  have  omitted  the  weightier 
mailers  of  the  law,  judgment,  mercy,  and  faith. 
-MAT.,  ch.  23. 

.12. 1O.  in  the  Church.     Tares.     38  The 

field  is  the  world . .  the  tares  are  the  children  of 
the  wicked  one ;  39  The  enemy  that  sowed  them 
is  the  devil  ;  the  harvest  is  the  end  of  the  world  ; 
and  the  reapers  are  the  angels.  40  As  therefore 
uie  tares  are  gathered  and  burned  in  the  fire. — 
MAT.,  ch.  13. 


4241. 


The  Chief  of.    Judas.     41  Judas, 


one  of  the  twelve,  went  before  them,  and  drew 
near  unto  Jesus  to  kiss  him.  48  But  Jesus  said 
.  .Judas,  betrayest  thou  the  Son  of  man  with  a 
kiss  ? — LUKE,  ch.  22. 

4242.  cut  off.  Israelites.  20  Ye  dis- 
sembled in  your  hearts,  when  ye  sent  me  unto 
the  Lord .  .  saying,  Pray  for  us  unto  the  Lord 
our  God. .  22  Now  therefore  know  certainly  that 
ye  shall  die  by  the  sword,  by  the  famine,  and  by 
the  pestilence,  in  the  place  whither  ye  desire  to 
go. — JEB.,  ch.  42. 

4243. Condemnation  of.  Harlots.  31  The 

publicans  and  the  harlots  go  into  the  kingdom 
of  God  before  you.  3'2  For  John  came  unto  you 
in  the  way  of  righteousness,  and  ye  believed 
him  not ;  but  the  publicans  and  the  harlots  be- 
lieved him  :  and  ye,  when  ye  had  seen  it,  re- 
pented not  afterward,  .ye  might  believe  him. — 
MAT.,  ch.  21. 


4244. 


Disguised.     Wolves.    15  Beware 


of  false  prophets,  which  come  to  you  in  sheep's 
clothing,  but  inwardly  they  are  ravening  wolves. 
16  Ye  shall  know  them  by  their  fruits. — MAT., 
ch.  7. 


4245. 


described.     Scribes.    46  Beware  of 


the  scribes,  which  desire  to  walk  in  long  robes, 
and  love  greetings  in  the  markets,  and  the  high- 
est seats  in  the  synagogues,  and  the  chief  rooms 
at  feasts  ;  41  Which  devour  widows'  houses,  and 
for  a  shew  make  long  prayers  :  the  same  shall 
receive  greater  damnation.  — LUKE,  ch.  20. 

4246.  silenced.     Adulterers.     7  He  that 

is  without  sin  among  you,  let  him  first  cast  a 
stone  at  her.     8  And  again  he  stooped  down, 
and  wrote  on  the  groiind.     9  And  they  which 
heard  it,  being  convicted  by  their  own  conscience, 
went  out  one  by  one,  beginning  at  the  eldest, 
even  unto  the  last.  — JOHN,  ch.  8. 

4247 .  HYPOCRISY  in  Benevolence.     Judas. 
5  Why  was  not  this  ointment  sold  for  three  hun- 
dred pence,  and  given  to  the  poor  ?     *  This  he 
said,  not  that  he  cared  for  the  poor  ;  but  be- 
cause he  was  a  thief,  and  had  the  bag.— JOHN, 
ch.  12. 

424§.  A  Conspirator's.  Absalom.  '  Ab- 
salom said  unto  the  king,  I  pray  thee,  let  me 
go  and  pay  my  vow,  which  I  have  vowed  unto 
the  Lord,  in  Hebron  . .  12  And  the  conspiracy 
was  strong  ;  f«r  the  people  increased  contin- 
ually  with  Absalom. — 2  SAM.,  ch.  15. 

4249.  Concealment  of.     Graves.    44  Woe 

unto  you,  scribes   and   Pharisees,   hypocrites  ! 
for  ye  are  as  graves  which  appear  not,  and  the 
men  that  walk  over  them  are  not  aware  of  them. 
— LUKE,  ch.  11. 

4250.  Conservative.    P  e  t  e  r .  '*  Before 

that  certain  came  from  James,  he  did  «at  with 


the  Gentiles  :  but  when  they  were  come,  he 
withdrew  and  separated  himself,  fearing  them 
which  were  of  the  circumcision.  13  And  the 
other  Jews  dissembled  likewise  with  him.. 
Barnabas  also  was  earned  away  with  their  dis- 
simulation.— GAL.,  ch.  2. 


4251. 


despised.     Jews.    21  I  hate,  I  de- 


spise your  feast  days,  and  I  will  not  smell  in 
your  solemn  assemblies.  22  Though  ye  offer  me 
burnt  offerings,  and  your  meat  offerings,  I  will 
not  accept  them  ;  neither  will  I  regard  the  peace 
offerings  of  your  fat  beasts.  23  Take  thou  away 
from  me  the  noise  of  thy  songs  ;  for  I  will  not 
hear  the  melody  of  thy  viols.  *4  But  let  judgment 
run  down  as  waters,  and  righteousness  as  a 
mighty  stream. — AMOS,  ch.  5. 


4252. 


denounced.      Woe.     14  Woe  unto 


you,  scribes  and  Pharisees,  hypocrites !  for  ye 
devour  widows'  houses,  and  for  a  pretence 
make  long  prayer  :  therefore  ye  shall  receive 
the  greater  damnation.  15  Woe  unto  you,  scribes 
and  Pharisees,  hypocrites  !  for  ye  compass  sea 
and  land  to  make  one  proselyte  ;  and  when  he 
is  made,  ye  make  him  twofold  more  the  child 
of  hell  than  yourselves. — MAT.,  ch.  23.  [See 
No.  4239.] 

4253. discovered.  Ananias.  8  Peter  said, 

Ananias,  why  hath  Satan  filled  thine  heart  to 
lie  to  the  Holy  Ghost,  and  to  keep  back  part  of 
the  price  of  the  land  ? — ACTS,  ch.  5. 

4254.  Fear  of.     Paul.    26  When  Saul 

was  come  to  Jerusalem,  he  assayed  to  join  him- 
self to  the  disciples  :  but  they  were  all  afraid  of 
him,  and  believed  not  that  he  was  a  disciple, 
— ACTS,  ch.  9. 

4255.  falsely   charged.    Eliphaz  to  Job. 

5  But  now  it  is  come  Tipon  thee,  and  thou  faint- 
est . .  6  Is  not  this  thy  fear,  thy  confidence,  thy 
hope,  and  the  uprightness  of  thy  ways?     *  Re- 
member, I  pray  thee,  who  ever  perished,  being 
innocent  ?  or  where  were  the  righteous  cut  off  ? 
— JOB,  ch.  4. 

4256.  in  Fault-finding.    "Mote."  4  How 

wilt  thou  say  to  thy  brother,  Let  me  pull  out 
the  mote  out  of  thine  eye  ;  and,  behold,  a  beam 
is  in  thine  own  eye  ?  5  Thou  hypocrite,  first  cast 
out  the  beam  out  of  thine  own  eye  ;  and  then 
shalt  thou  see  clearly  to  cast  out  the  mote  out 
of  thy  brother's  eye. —  MAT.,  ch.  7. 

4257.  Heartless.  Pharisees.  6  Well  hath 

Esaias  prophesied  of   you   hypocrites,  as  it  is 
written,   This   people    honoureth  me  with  their 
lips,  but  their  heart  is  far  from  me.     7  Howbeit 
in  vain  do  they  worship  me,  teaching  for  doc- 
trine    the     commandments    of    men.— MAEK, 
ch.  7. 

425$. Outwardness  of.     Pols  and  Cups. 

8  Laying  aside  the  commandment  of  God,  ye 
hold  the  tradition  of  men,  as  the  washing  of  pots 
and  cups  :  and  many  other  such  like  things  ye 
do.  9  And  he  said  unto  them,  Full  well  ye 
reject  the  commandment  of  God,  that  ye  may 
keep  your  own  tradition.  — MABK,  ch.  7. 

4259.  Official.     Pilate.     24  When  Pilate 

saw  that  he  could  prevail  nothing,  but  thai 
rather  a  tumult  was  made,  he  took  water,  and 
washed  his  hands  before  the  multitude,  saying,  I 
am  innocent  of  the  blood  of  this  just  person  : 
see  ye  to  it.—  MAT.,  ch.  27.

way  of  God  in  truth,  neither  carest  thou  for  any 
man. ."  Tell  us,  therefore,  What  thinkest  thou  ? 
Is  it  lawful  to  give  tribute  unto  Cesar,  or  not  ? 
18 .  .Why  tempt  ye  me,  ye  hypocrites? — MAT., 
ch.  22.

punished.     Ananias.    8  Peter  an- 


swered. .Tell  me  whether  ye  sold  the  land  for 
so  much?  And  she  said,  Yea,  for  so  much. 
9  Then  Peter  said . .  How  is  it  that  ye  have 
agreed  together  to  tempt  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  ? 
behold,  the  feet  of  them  which  have  buried  thy 
husband  are  at  the  door,  and  shall  carry  thee 
out.  10  Then  fell  she  down  straightway.  — ACTS, 
ch.  5. 

4263.  Revengeful.     Joab.  9  Joab  said 

to  Amasa,  Art  thou  in  health,  my  brother  ?  And 
Joab  took  Amasa  by  the  beard  with  the  right 
hand  to  kiss  him.  10  Amasa  took  no  heed  to  the 
sword  that  was  in  Joab's  hand  :    so  he  smote 
him  therewith  in  the  fifth  rib,  and  shed  out  his 
bowels  to  the  ground. — 2  SAM.,  ch.  20. 

4264.  rebuked.   Sabbath.    15  Thou  hypo- 
crite, doth  not  each  one  of  you  on  the  sabbath 
loose  his  ox  or  his  ass  from  the  stall,  and  lead 
/urn  away  to  watering?     18  And  ought  not  this 
woman,  being   a  daughter  of  Abraham,  whom 
Satan  hath  bound,  lo,  these  eighteen  years,  be 
loosed    from   this  bond  on  the   sabbath  day  ? 
11  And.. all    his  adversaries    were   ashamed. —

4265.  Royal.    Herod.  '  Herod,  when  he 

had   privily  called  the  wise  men,  inquired  of 
them   diligently  what  time  the  star  appeared. 
8  And  he  sent  them  to  Bethlehem,  and  said,  Go 
and  search  diligently  for  the  young  child  ;  and 
when  ye  have  found  him,  bring  me  word  again, 
that  I  may  come  and  worship  him  also. — MAT.,

and  upon  the  smooth  of  his  neck  :    n  And  she 
gave  the  savoury  meat  .  .  40  And  Isaac  said  unto 
his  son,  How  is  it  that  thou  hast  found  it  so 
quickly,  my  son  ?  And  he  said,  Because  the  Lord 
thy  God  brought  it  to  me.  —GEN.,-  ch.  27.

swered all  the  people,  and  said,  His  blood  be 
on  us,  and  on  our  children.     26  Then  released 
he  Barabbas   unto     them  :    and  when   he   had 
scourged  Jesus,  he  delivered  him  to  be  crucified.

parts  in  the  king,  and  we  have  also  more  right  in 
David  than  ye  :  why  then  did  ye  despise  us,  that 
our  advice  should  not  be  first  had  in  bringing

ites  ?     And  they  did  chide  with  him  sharply. 
8  And  he  said  unto  them,  What  have  I  done  now 
in  comparison  of  you  ?     Is  not  the  gleaning  of 
the  grapes  of  Ephraim  better  than  the  vintage 
of  Abi-ezer? — JUDGES,  ch.  8. 

•16*1.  Success  begets.        King    Saul 

28  Knew  that  the  Lord  was  with  David,  and  that

have  ascribed  but  thousands  :  and  what  can  he 
have  more  but  the  kingdom  ?  9  And  Saul  eyed

sat  on  it,  from  whose  face  the  earth  and  the 
heaven  fled  away  ;  and  there  was  found  no

and  great,  stand  before  God  ;  and  the  books 
were  opened  :  and  another  book  was  opened, 
which  is  the  book  of  life  :  and  the  dead  were 
judged  out  of  those  things  which  were  written 
in  the  books,  according  to  their  works. — REV.,

everlasting  kindness  will  I  have  mercy  on  thee, 
saith  the  Lord  thy  Redeemer.  10  For  the  moun-

against  them.  n  And  I  punished  them  oft  in 
every  synagogue,  and  compelled  them  to  blas-

might  ;  and  the  house  fell  upon  the  lords,  and 
upon  all  the  people  that  were  therein.  So  the
